Forecast Discussion

A system from the gulf joined up with a cold front, bringing us the rain we'll see today. Showers begin to develop in the morning and steady rain arrives this afternoon, ending early tomorrow morning. We could see a thunderstorm which would bring gusty winds but the bigger danger are the heavy periods of rain. Lots of rain in a short period of time poses a flood danger. This tapers off early tomorrow morning.

After the rain ends Friday morning, skies begin to clear but we could see a shower or two in the PM. Memorial Day Weekend looks just about as perfect as it can be. High pressure moves in, bringing a period of dry weather and clear skies starting Saturday. Temperatures begin to warm up on Sunday and become very warm to wrap up the month of May.
